Line 131:
*Each minister also has the power to appoint an undersecretary capable of carrying out specific duties within the bounds of their office.
On May 13, 2022, the framework for a potential future federation was adopted, officially transforming the FDR from a ''de facto'' unitary state to a federal one.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/up41gt/results_a_new_danzilonan_federation/</ref> Until July 29, 2022, the Foreign Minister, Interior Minister, and Defence Minister were called the Ambassador, Surveyor, and Sheriff, respectively.
==== Bureaucracy ====
Along with its elected national government offices, the FDR also has a number of appointed bodies and positions that help carry out the tasks of those national offices. The ability to appoint undersecretary positions was granted via constitutional amendments proposed by [[Gant]] and further refined by a transparency law proposed by [[Azelair]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/w73wyk/proposal_constitutional_amendments/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wdmunp/results_executive_transparency_and_accountability/</ref> The number of appointments rose drastically after [[Des23]] was elected to all national government offices in the [[September 2022 Danzilonan general election]]. As of October 4, 2022, the appointed bureaucracy of the FDR includes the following:
* Consuls of the [[Free Danzilonan Republic#Provinces & Territories|Provinces]], who were originally appointed by the Interior Minister to help carry out select duties relating to governance within their assigned provinces.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xepz0l/delegations_consuls_of_the_provinces/</ref> First appointed by Des23 after her initial proposal for provincial consuls failed,<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xcvb6r/results_provincial_consuls/</ref> the Consuls were also given expanded powers in foreign affairs and defence of their particular provinces.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xm8hrh/delegations_expansion_of_consular_power_and/</ref>
* [[Free Danzilonan Republic#New Danzilona|NDZ]] Council, which has the same power and authority as a provincial Consul, but includes multiple people as opposed to just one. These councillors include the Consuls of the rest of the FDR's provinces as well as Danzilonan founder [[peakman2]].
* Commissioner of the [[NDZHL]]. As part of Gant's constitutional amendments, the NDZHL was reformed as a nationalised entity under the Interior Ministry and so its head has become a governmental position. The office is currently vacant and so authority over the NDZHL falls to the current Interior Minister, [[lone22wolf]].
* Archivist of the Republic. A unique position whose tasks mostly revolved around out-of-game duties, including keeping an up-to-date list of laws and maintaining the subreddit wiki. So far only held by [[Qaad]] during August 2022.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wfphoj/delegation_archivist_of_the_republic_qaad/</ref>
